DVD/CD player still in movie folders after deleting

mvanbunnik · 2006-02-12, 18:51

I use Mediaportal only for divx movies/series, I only store these files on my harddrive, what means that I don't use my DVD/CD-ROM player in Mediaportal.
That's wy I deleted these drives in my "Movie folders" in the Mediaportal Setup. When I start Mediaportal now, these drives are not visible in Mediaportal Movies, only my harddisk's.
The next time I start Mediaportal, the CD/DVD-ROM are back in the movie list!!! They are all so back in de "Movies folders" in the Setup.
How can I delete these drives from my Mediaportal movies without coming back???!!

I am using MP version 0.2.0.0 RC2

Looking for a solution for this myself. This is an old tread but the problem still exists in 0.2.3.

I delete the CD and DVD map from config in "My Movies" but when i restart the config the maps are there again!?!?

I would say this i a bug.

No it is hardcoded into MP as defaults, whether this will change in MP2, possibly.

Well, this is a real pain. I have a bluray drive in the system now. If there is a bluray disk in the drive and I go to the Movies folder, mediaportal tries to access the drive. Because it cannot recognize the format, it takes 30 seconds until it shows the movie folders. In other words, it now takes 30 seconds to go from the title screen to the menu that lets me play videos/movies off the hard drive.

Yes don´t understand why this one is not fixed. It sure is a bug, I mean why could you otherwise uncheck the drives?
